TWITCHTAIL HAD WANTED TO LIVE ON THAT HILLSIDE WHERE SHE HAD ALWAYS LIVED You see, that big stone was close to a fleld of grain, and it wasn't far from an orchard. Moreover, that stone was in a field of alfalfa and Twitchtail and his family are very fond of grain, fruit and alfalfa, in addition to» many other things, a variety of plants, insects and a little meat when they can get it. Twitchtail had been born in a snug home on the slopes of a hiil beyond the orchard. When he and Mrs. Twiichtail started out into the Great World to maks a home for themsclves they had first wandered about exploring. It wes Twitchtail who had d'scovered the big stone in the alfalfa field near a corne where the fleld of wheat adjoined the alfalfa field and the orchard adjoine both. It was quite a distance from their former home on the hillside. and moreover, it was out in the o whereas ‘they had been living wh there were trees and bushes and plent of places to hide Mrs. Twitchtall had wanted to live on that hiliside where she had vays lived. It had been hard work for Twitchtail to induce her to try this place he had found. “My dear.” said he *we can dig our home under th's ~ and it will be fust as safe as any we could find on that hiliside. then think how we can i the most important thing safety, especially when the come along.

But a new crop of alfalfa soon sprang up and grew rapidly, and it was very sweet and tender.

Jassidae Family. 1S family has the famous “weep- i ing tree” hoppers in it. Once a newspaper man decided to prove to his own satisfaction why the tree “wept.” He climbed up among the branches and discovered | thousands and thousands of these little active spray gunners. He reached the | ground pretty damp, but he knew the | source of the sudden shower when the tree was shaken or a strong breeze came along. These insects are found all over the United States and cause great loss among | | the farmers. They are espec'ally fond of grass crops and potato fields are often ruined by them. The family is a large one. The little creatures are rarely over one-third of | an inch long. The body is slender and | widest at the shoulders. They have wings and their hind legs are equipped with spines. Some of them are green, others mottled and some brown. They suck up the sap from the leaf tissue, | causing it to turn yellow and die. The | disease is known as “hopperburn.” With a million on an acre of grass they will consume more than & hungry cow. The potato leafhopper is one of our { most ~ serious pests. This hopper is | | small, pale green and has white eyes. | | The mother lays her transparent eggs | in the tissue of the leaf. After the hopper hatches the leaf dies. “The youngsters pass through several stages before they are fully grown. Many | coats are discarded and with the last {one they have wings. At first the ba- | bles are white, but they soon turn a | green to match the surrounding foliage. | They are great hoppers, and seem to be playing leap-frog most of the time. | It is their way of getting about. They | are sort of nervous creatures and hate | to_be disturbed. When Winter approaches they hide away in the trash or weeds nearby.) Early in May they come out and in-| spect the trees. PFrom them they go| to the potaio patch or the bean fields. | Here they mate and place their eggs. | In warmer climates there are four gen- erations a season; in colder ones two. Control methods of spraying must | be used. The three enemies of this| hungry horde do not keep them down A tiny parasite cleverly lays her own egg beside the hopper’s egg, a fungus growth covers the hopper with & disease | which turns it first a yellowish color, then a2ll the colors of the rainbow as the growth increases. A spider seeks the hopper and takes many of them. These hoppers flourish all over the United States. They enjoy any tender leaf of tree or plant at flelds of forage crops have been wiped out by 2 visitation of these active hoppers. (Copyrieht. 1931 NANCY PAGE Who Said Fried Chicken? Everbody!
